production test, page-113

Keeping it simple here Antman & Bob.

Slotted liner's role is to keep the wellbore stable & block out any sand/silt cavings frm flowing into the wellbore. The slots r precision cut, in a set design & this hangs off a hanger. Its fairly a straight-fwd process, as long as the Sl-Lnr covers the entire lower production interval.

So, the situation is cement the 7" liner to 4454m & then thro' it they'll run 200m section of 4.5" liner to the Lwr test section. This should keep the wellbore intact & also fast track any gasflow into the wellbore.

Zia had posted a video yesterday of a borehole televiewer scanning through a slotted liner, that shows smallish gas bubbles flowing into the wellbore.

That's exactly what we want at to see at HS#1, albiet on a bigger interval & frm majority of the 132m thick sandy interval & also safeguard the wellbore frm that shaly unit.

Hope this simplistic post of mine gives a better understanding of what ENI (or any Operator) thinks like. Back to the wedding-crashers (lol, seriously some pretty creative buggers on this thread, cracked me up).
